Help Ethan Join Youth Football This Season

My son Ethan is 13 years old and has loved football since he was very little. He started playing flag football at age 9 with a local youth team, and his passion for the game has only grown since then. Ethan dreams of playing contact football, inspired by watching professional games and spending every free moment tossing a football around. This year, he’s hoping to join the Jack Frost Youth Football League here in Bakersfield, California, and take the next step in his football journey.

The registration fee for the league covers everything Ethan needs—equipment, uniforms, travel, and even the end-of-season ball and ceremony. Our family works hard to meet our daily needs, but sometimes the extras are tough to manage. With the season starting soon, I’m reaching out to our community for help so Ethan doesn’t miss this opportunity. Instead of birthday wishes or gifts for myself this year, I’m asking friends and family to help make Ethan’s football dream a reality.

One of my favorite memories is from his flag football days, when he proudly posed in the front yard in his uniform, mouth guard, and football, making all kinds of poses before heading to the game. That same day, he caught the winning touchdown. Supporting Ethan now means giving him the chance to create even more memories like that, and I know it would mean the world to him.
